Apps Like Sweat, and How to Switch Without Losing Paid Days

Sweat is a library: dozens of programs from its trainers, and you can start any of them on any day. Here are nine apps that do the same job in different ways.

Train with a group

• Solin challenges. A creator's plan, typically 6 weeks, with a start date and a private community for everyone who joined. Best if you're done training alone. The app is free on iPhone and Android, and you pay once for each challenge.
• Ladder. Strength teams led by a coach, on iPhone, from $14.99 a month billed yearly, with a 7-day free trial. Where Sweat gives you a library to pick from, Ladder puts you on a team with one coach. We compare it with Solin in our Ladder alternative guide.

Another library of programs

• EvolveYou. "The strength training & wellbeing app made by women, for women," with 7 days free.
• Tone It Up. More than 1,000 workouts, from pilates and strength to pregnancy and boxing.
• Onemor. Workouts built by expert coaches, with 7 days of Pro free.

Free to start

• Nike Training Club. Free guidance from trainers, athletes and wellness experts, on iPhone and Android.
• FitOn. Free to sign up.

A coach, or your own log

• Caliber. Coaching with workout and nutrition programming and one-on-one video coaching.
• Jefit. A free version with a database of over 1,400 exercises, for planning your own workouts.

Cancel as soon as you know you're leaving. Sweat doesn't refund or pro-rate the rest of your period, and you keep access until it ends. So cancelling early costs you nothing.

1. Check where you pay. If you pay through the App Store or Google Play, you cancel there. If you signed up in the Sweat app or on sweat.com, you cancel in the app, from your profile.
2. Finish every step (yes, even the survey). Sweat says that's how you make sure the cancellation goes through.
3. Keep the app. Deleting it doesn't cancel anything, and you can keep training on it until your access ends.
4. On the 7-day free trial? Cancel before it ends, or it rolls into a paid plan.

On the monthly plan ($24.99 on sweat.com), waiting past your renewal date means paying for a month you may not use. On the yearly plan ($134.99 on sweat.com), the year's already paid for. Cancel now anyway so it can't renew, and use the rest of the year to pick a start date.

Line up a start date

A Solin challenge starts on a set day. Pick one that starts while you still have Sweat, and keep using it until then. You get the challenge's private community as soon as you buy, so you can say hi to the group before day one.

We think of a challenge as a group class, not a playlist you play alone: one start date, a crowd of women, the same goal. Of 93 winners we interviewed, 90% credited the challenge community for motivation and support.

On Sweat, you choose from the trainers Sweat brings in, led by its co-founder and head trainer, Kayla Itsines. On Solin, creators sell their own challenges. On Nov 8, 2026, Explore listed 695 challenges from 396 creators. So you can pick a style you like, maybe from someone you already watch.

Before you buy, check two things on the challenge page:

• The reviews. 290 of those 695 challenges had 4.5 stars or more from at least 10 reviews.
• The length. At least 130 have six weeks in the title.

And if the creator's style turns out not to be your thing, every challenge has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
